This is a collaboration with my brother who wrote and recorded the acoustic guitar track first, and I then added the piano to it (and later added a piano interlude and ending).   

As a piano player, I find that it can be a challenge to share the stage with another instrument without being too obtrusive.  Additionally, piano and acoustic guitar are both rich in frequencies making mixing a challenge (especially for my novice mixing skills).  I don't think I would have even attempted this project if I hadn't heard a bunch of wonderful and inspiring acoustic guitar and piano duet examples on SC from @debra_buesking and @david-dunhamuser589535203  https://soundcloud.com/debra_buesking/sets/dunham-buesking-collabs
This song is in a different style than their work, but nevertheless it was very helpful to listen to Deb and David's songs while thinking about how to try to fit in the piano in a complementary way.

Song title: The rugged sound of the flat-picked dreadnought together with the spaced out melody of the piano gives me an overall impression of desert/Western combined with sci-fi/fantasy.

When I start to daydream
My mind turns straight to a woman
Into deserted land lost in time, lost my mind
Go on and ride across the universe flying high
I want to go for a ride
I think I made up my mind
I am on a feather
Good to be lighter
I'm on a ride
No more in danger
I think she's an angel
I want to hide
There may be nothing out there
In the dark side of the sound
Above she's a screamer I can't take another little bit too fast
I cannot take another lonely day to blast
I wanna go for a ride
I think I made up my mind
I am on a feather
Good to be lighter
I'm on a ride
No more in danger
I think she's an angel
I want to hide
On a bass ride, on a bass ride, on a bass ride
He's ready to play a bass ride
That's right
I am on a feather
Good to be lighter
I'm on a ride
No more in danger
I think she's an angel
I wanna

A few years back I recorded Perry Clemons, my father in-law playing the song "Wave" a classic. Recently I added a few tracks to  compliment the song and mix / mastered. Enjoy his wonderful tasteful guitar playing.

No Amplifiers were used on this track. I used a Line 6 pocket pod in place of the amplifier for this one. I wanted to test the waters using an amplifier emulator to see if i liked it because the set up is so much easier than constantly having to mic my amplifiers.... my only fear is that the emulators will not sound exactly like an amp.

I chose to just cover a song that I really loved growing up and that I had played in our band for years from the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) and asked my cousin and his sister and mom sit in on this one and do the vocals and back ups. so a big shout out to them for their help with this test track... Hope you all enjoy this and if you have never heard the original, youtube it... its a great song.
